Well the high-pitched rodents are the latest to get the greenlight for a CGI pic as Variety reports that Fox 2000 Pictures, 20th Century Fox Animation and Bagdasarian Prods. will partner to produce a live-action/CGI feature based on the 1950s and ’60s icons “Alvin and the Chipmunks.”
No scribe or helmer is yet attached, but Fox said it plans to use a flesh-and-blood actor for the role of Dave Seville, the Chipmunks’ “dad,” with Chipmunks Alvin, Simon and Theodore to be CGI.
